My Toshiba external hard disk failed. LED doesn't glow but hard disk itself spins without clicking noises. I tried with different ports, cables and computers but no solution till now. I have heard that mostly it is a problem with the controller, in which case I should buy an external controller like Anker's USB to SATA adapter and remove the hard disk from the enclosure and use it with that.
Does this seem like a controller failure or hard disk's failure itself?
My drive is still under warranty but I have just so much of important data in it that I want to try to recover it instead of getting it replaced with a new one. But if this doesn't seem like a controller failure, then I have to get it replaced with a new one otherwise the warranty will become void once I open the enclosure to try. Any ideas?
